• The spread for the game is Florida State by 1.5 points.

• Freshman Patrick Williams continues to come on strong for the Seminoles with 16 points and five rebounds against Pittsburgh and after reaching double figures in just one of his first eight ACC games this season, he has scored 10-plus points in four of the last five. “I think you’ve only seen him scratch the surface of his potential,” Hamilton said. “I think he is going to get better and better. He’s going to make a huge difference to our team. He finds ways to make contributions. … He’s just working on trying to be a complete player. I’m very proud of him.” Devin Vassell is the team’s leading scorer (13.0 per game) and rebounder (5.3) while Trent Forrest sits second in scoring (11.6) and first in assists (4.3) and steals (2.1).

• Guards Markell Johnson (28 points) and Daniels (25 points) led the way with career-high scoring efforts against Duke, with Johnson also reaching personal highs for successful field goals (10) and 3-pointers (five). C.J. Bryce, the team’s leading scorer with 13.7 points per game, had an off night with just seven points on 3-of-10 shooting, but he paced the team with 10 rebounds while Johnson, Daniels and D.J. Funderburk each finished with nine as the Wolfpack dominated Duke on the glass 51-43. NC State was 8-of-13 from deep against Duke, with Johnson nailing 5-of-6, as the team finished with its best 3-point shooting performance of the season (61.5 percent).

• NC State leads the series 31-26, but Florida State won the last meeting 78-73 in Tallahassee.
